| − | '''Oscar E. Wenderoth''' was born in February 1871, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father Frederick was a portrait painter.[[#References|[9]]] Oscar spent much of his career working in the Office of the U.S. Supervising Architect. Prior to that, he may have been connected with Haverford College, as most the listings on his page in the 1900 U.S. Census were for the college. Wenderoth married Sarah Keyser in Philadelphia in 1898. He died on April 11, 1938, survived by Sarah and two daughters.[[#References|[1][3][4][5][6][8][12]]]
